NEW DELHI, Jun. 6, 2023 (TBINN)

Deficiency Vitamin D is more common in children with tuberculosis (T.B.) than those not infected by the bacterial disease, according to a study conducted in hospitalised patients of Telangana.

The study, recently published in the journal Cureus, also found that a severe form of vitamin D deficiency, less than 10 nanogrammes per millilitre (ng/mL), was higher among children with T.B.
